You've handed things to assistants before. You've never just texted one. Instinct connects to the apps and devices you already use - email, messaging, calendar, screen, audio, location - and takes things off your plate over plain text or a call: bookings, rides, inbox cleanup, shopping, flights, follow-ups. Early users have rebooked travel, cancelled subscriptions, even planned a wedding with it. Currently invite-only early access while the team scales compute.

Could you build this?
No It requires an autonomous computer-use and phone-control agent with real-time multi-channel orchestration (telephony, screen capture, continuous audio, app automation) and specialized fine-tuning for dependable cross-device execution.
What it would actually take: Building Instinct requires custom multimodal foundation model fine-tuning for device-control agents (OSWorld/AndroidWorld style actuators), low-latency WebRTC/telephony pipelines (e.g., Twilio + custom STT/TTS loops), and secure client-side OS-level daemons for desktop and mobile screen reading and event injection. The hard part is building an execution engine robust enough to navigate arbitrary UIs, auth flows, and edge cases across mobile and desktop without failing silently or causing real-world harm. This requires deep systems engineering, ML agent evaluation pipelines, and substantial compute resources.
